Sarah is a PhD student in the Population Health Sciences program, advised by Dr. Nick Menzies. Her research is at the intersection of infectious disease epidemiology and economics, with a focus on the role of human behavior in disease prevention, detection, and transmission. She is interested in infectious disease modelling, disease surveillance, antibiotic resistance, and the design and evaluation of interventions to predict, prevent, and respond to disease outbreaks. She…
Byron Cohen
Byron Cohen is a PhD candidate in Population Health Sciences at Harvard School of Public Health, based in the Department of Global Health & Population, in the Health Systems track. For part of his dissertation research, Byron uses epidemiological models to evaluate potential strategies for early detection and containment of outbreaks of potential pandemic pathogens that may occur as a result of accidental lab-acquired infections in high-biosafety research facilities. For…
Siva Emani
Siva Emani is a third-year medical student with a background in biomedical engineering interested in quantitative approaches to addressing unmet needs in global health. In the lab, he primarily works on understanding health policy approaches to reducing the burden of tuberculosis disease in Brazil. He also enjoys playing tennis and Indian classical music.
Yuli Lily Hsieh
Lily Hsieh is a Ph.D. student in Health Policy (Decision Sciences track). Her current research involves using various disease modeling techniques to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intervention programs and new health technologies for infectious diseases. She hopes to help design intervention programs that can help improve health and reduce economic burdens in communities disproportionately affected by infectious diseases. Lily holds a BSc in Pharmacology from the University of British Columbia,…
Lyndon James
Lyndon James is a physician and PhD Candidate in Health Policy and Decision Sciences at Harvard. In his doctoral research, he uses simulation modeling and causal inference methods to determine the most effective—and cost-effective—treatment strategies for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis. He is also conducting research to better understand how equity can be included in cost-effectiveness analysis. Lyndon obtained his medical degree from University College London and holds an MPH from the Harvard Chan…
Sun Kim
Sun Kim is a Ph.D. student in Population Health Sciences (Global Health and Population track) at Harvard University. Her research interest lies in mathematical modeling and spatial analysis of infectious diseases, pandemic preparedness, and health system strengthening. Sun received her BS in Biomedical Engineering from Yonsei University, South Korea and her SM in Global Health and Population from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Yizhi Diego Liang
Diego Liang is a master’s student studying in the Department of Global Health and Population at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. His current research focuses on estimating trends in racial and ethnic disparities in the prevalence of syphilis among pregnant women in the United States. Diego is also working on developing fair clinical risk prediction models and equity-informed health decision-making. He has contributed to the investigation of…
Ye Shen
Ye Shen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Decision Sciences track of the Health Policy program at Harvard University. She is interested in using disease simulation modeling, decision analytic, and policy evaluation methods to better inform health policy topics intersecting the social safety net for underserved and vulnerable populations. She is currently applying these methods to simulate insurance, utilization, and oral disease dynamics and to evaluate policies that address oral…
Nanki Singh
Nanki is a second-year Master of Science student at the Harvard TH. Chan School of Public Health, in the Global Health and Population Department. Her research interests lie in long standing infectious disease challenges in low and middle-income countries. At the Menzies lab, she is working on assessing TB prevalence and notification rates in LMIC’s. She has previously worked in the development sector with The Gates Foundation and USAID. She…
Radhika Tampi
Radhika Tampi is a Ph.D. student in the Health Policy program (Decision Sciences track) at Harvard University. Radhika holds a BS in Biomedical Science from the Ohio State University and an MHS in Health Economics from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her current research involves assessing the cost-effectiveness of HIV, TB, and malaria interventions in settings disproportionately affected by these diseases.
